Weather Briefing
VFRHamburg-Finkenwerder Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies.
Wind Analysis
Winds are calm, presenting no crosswind concerns for any runway.
Visibility & Ceiling
Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 4°C (39°F) with a dewpoint of 3°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 8 hours. The forecast shows a transition between VFR and IFR conditions. Pilots should monitor the forecast closely and have an alternate airport plan. Expected weather includes: Patches Fog. There is a 30% probability of IFR conditions with Patches Fog between 04:00Z and 06:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Hamburg-Finkenwerder Airport
Overview
Hamburg-Finkenwerder Airport serves the Hamburg metropolitan area as a medium-sized airport situated at 23 feet mean sea level. Located at coordinates 53.535278, 9.835556, the airport primarily supports local aviation operations in northern Germany's maritime region.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions demonstrate significant variability, with VFR conditions predominating at 59.3% of observations. Temperature ranges from -13°C to 27°C, averaging 7°C, while wind patterns consistently favor easterly directions at an average of 7.5 knots with maximum gusts to 26 knots. Pilots can expect excellent visibility averaging 10 statute miles, with minimal fog occurrence at just 1.2% of observations.
Notable Features
The single runway 05/23 extends 8,629 feet and is constructed with a PEM (presumably Pavement Evaluation Method) surface. Wind data indicates near-perfect runway alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions and a modest average crosswind of 3.6 knots. September, October, and December represent the most consistently favorable VFR flying months.
Approach Considerations
Runway 05/23 offers predictable wind conditions, making it highly reliable for approach and departure. Pilots should anticipate predominantly easterly winds and prepare for potential variations within the 7.5-knot average range. The low occurrence of low visibility conditions (LIFR at 6.3%) suggests generally stable approach environments.
